John: I have said for over a year that Fabianski is a liability... he is way too nervous and has never shown any confidence. He is a good shot stopper but as soon as the ball is in and around the area im worried. You say 'in Arsene we trust' but you admitted yourself he picked the wrong team.

I am a goalkeeper and I feel genuinely sorry hes got all this (undeserved) stick. The first goal- credit where credit is due- is a good goal, he shouldn't of been allowed inside so easily but he did and Fabianski has to adjust quickly to dive the other way, unfortunately its right next to the post. The second goal- what does he do? Does he wait for Drogba to pick his spot- he has all the time in the world because Silvestre gives up- or does he try and force Drogbas hand and make him do something? Its a lose:lose situation- why were we defending so high, and why did Sylvester give up? Kolo was good imo too- DIABY IS SHIT! Other than that good blog mate.

Firstly it went through his legs. Secondly,if I were playing on Malouda in that situation I would try to get him to take a shot with his right foot. He is one of the most one footed players in the EPL - he rarely ever uses his right. Him having a shot with his right foot from the distance - it was a good 15 yards, should not be that bigger a threat. Eboue was right to have confidence that fabianksi would cover his near post. 2nd goal showed why Silvestre was sold by Man U, too old, too slow. i dont think you can blame Eboue for Malouda’s goal.
